Changelog

ddfix 1.5.5

• Fixed a bug with the screen turning pure white when looking at a near wall in SS2.
• Per-mission ini files, new parameter EnableMissionIni.
• New parameter EnableGamma. Set EnableGamma=0 to disable gamma correction.
• New postprocessing parameters BloomShift and BloomShiftRemodulate.

ddfix 1.5.4

• Desktop resolution is restored when returning from Dromed game mode, even if game mode and editor are set to the same resolution.
• If UseCompatibleZBuffer=0, out of two different z-buffer formats the one that works is used.
• Texture replacement support for Dromed2 v1.18, Dromed v1.37, ShockEd v2.12. (Excluding TextureExists hook.)

ddfix 1.5.3

• Fixed UseCompatibleZBuffer=0, which now means 24 bits (UseCompatibleZBuffer=1 still means 16 bits).
• Menu screens and videos use Flip(), and triple buffering if TripleBuffer=1. There should be no more video tearing if vsync is on. As a side effect, Fraps can record seamlessly including menu screens, loadout and videos.
• MenuUpdateDelay is off by default. It's not needed if vsync is on.
• Texture replacement support for SS2 v2.3.

ddfix 1.5.2

• Anisotropic filtering for the first stage only, linear for the second stage. For the second stage (light maps) anisotropic does cause some glitches after all.
• Triple buffering.
• FlipInterval option. Translates directly to DDFLIP_INTERVAL* flag in the Flip() call.
• MenuUpdateDelay option.

ddfix 1.5.1

• PrintScreen works for menu screens now also.
• Added setting of maxanisotropy for the second texture stage.
• Frame rate limiter.
• Revisited menu screen update delay. Supports T2 and TG.
• New ini file option for setting the menu screen aspect ratio.
• Texture replacement support for TG v1.37 (T2 v1.18 was already supported). Removed Thief2Extensions option and added new TextureReplacement option.
• New ini file section MemAddr allows direct setting of the memory addresses to be patched.

ddfix 1.5.0

• Fog. SiO2's idea: fog requires w-friendly projection transform.
• Added restoring the filter functions for the second texture stage after post processing.

ddfix 1.3.11.4

• Added post processing options: (de)saturation, bloom.

ddfix 1.3.11.3

• Introduced some delay in the menu / loadout / readable screen update to lower GPU temperature and to slow down object rotation in the loadout screen.

ddfix 1.3.11.2

• Added support for Avi textures. The usual size restrictions apply. Use any VfW combatible codec that decodes into RGB.

ddfix 1.3.11.1

• Fixed the mipmap problems with the replacements to some textures, such as grass textures (NTEX), green water, and others.
• Removed the "You seem to be trying to use ddfix 1.3.11 or newer with an exe patched to use 1.3.10 or older" check.
